case, this class Of capitalists are GER
tainly entitled to as much consideration
at the hands Of Congress as any other
class of producers in this State or the
country at large. II costs but little to
obtain title to a mining claim. when it
costs many thousands to establish a
cattle herd, and yet its owner is denied
an abiding place; he is driven from
mountain to plain and plain to noun
tain at the will of his adversary, while
the MIXING claimant stands secure in all
his rights.
"Give, by equitable and just laws,
the ownership of the now useless noun
tuins and plains Of Nevada, to the own
ers of the cattle interest--the only class
that can make them useful-and at
once the millions of capital which they
have invested in such property. will
make itself manifest in flowing wells on
the desert, and prosperous ranches on
the mountain sides and tops. Then.
that which is now worthless will become

Supporting these views of General
Irish, is the following report made to
the Land Con- missioner, by Special
Agent Collins, whose field of observa-
ton is the State of California. These
two public officers reached these con-
current, conclusions Independently of
each other, and their recommendations
are the first official reference to the
needs of the great and growing pastoral
interest.
"There is one suggestion I would
offer in reference to lands that are unfit
for agricultural purposes, situated usu-
ally in mountainous regions, which
possess some advantages for stock
raisers and which they frequently get
hold of in crooked ways, jnstifying
themselves upon the ground that no
homesteader Gan upon such lands make
IL living. with even the vested rights of
both presumption and homestead, In
my Judgment have passed over many
such localities, and in order to stimulate
such an important branch Of industry
as that of cattle raising, 1 believe it
would be much better to segregate such
lands and allow cattle raisers to pay
such prices as may be fixed by proper
legislation, and such amounts disposed
of as may be desired by the pur-
chaser.
ITO say the least of such change,
less collision, perjury und conflict
would be INDUCED in, and an indispen-
sable Industry would be accelerated and
encouraged.

manufacturing interests Of the country are
50 per cent. better than they were in 1884,
the revenue laws remain unchanged, the
Union soldiers draw more pensions and

President has signed more pension bills

LINCOLN,

Lincoln, this time In Chicago, recalls the
career Of the most notable figure Of the
civil war, statesman who has left n mem
DRY OF personal stability and frmness, tenn
percd by gcntleness almost 10 tenderness.
Looking back through the vista Of years
since by majority Of his fellow citizens
Mr.. Lincoln was called 20 all the chair Of
Washington, his lank, lean, ungainly, yet
picturesque, figure rises far above all
Others and dominates the era. A human
itarian in the broad sense in which that
word has come 10 be understood, he ex-
ercised clemcncy and was moved TO the pro-
foundest depths Of feeling by the dreadful
exigencies Of the civil war. lilo had faith
In an overriding Providence and in the
destiny Of the republic, and he believed
that time would como when the Union
would be restored and all the people
would he one again in heart and hope and
purpose. All his prophecies have been
fulfilled, and he himself has risen TO M
high place in tho hearts Of the van
pushed as Of the victos. Ills was con-
sisicnt course, full Of the spirit Of good
will, and the people Of the south, putting
away whatever Of luminosity he may ut
one time have excited, now see In him the
best friend they had in their hour Of dis.
trcS, and acknowledge the statesman
who would have prevented reconstruction
| had he lived.
